Why are you not using proven technologies that have been doing this for over a
decade.
There are about 10 to 20 different issues you haven't begun to address here.
Take care,
Sina

Hi,
Here's what I thought about.
For this process, I'm assuming that the files I'm interested will only be
created and altered on the Windows side.
==========
On the Linux box, make a Perl or some other kind of script that does the
following.
Copy the folder structure I'm interested in somewhere to back it up.
crawl through the folder structure and read the time stamp information and
write it somewhere.
Kick off SFTP, FTP, or something.
Log onto the Windows box
cd to the folder structure on the Windows box.
do a dir, and pipe it to a file.
Download the resulting file.
Load the file.
Read the time stamp from each line of the file and compare that to the time
stamp of the file on the Linux side.
Assume that if a file doesn't exist on the Linux side, that it is new, so
collect its information.
If the time stamp from Windows is newer than the one on Linux, collect the
files information.
When done reading through files, download the changed or new ones from the
Windows box.
Log off from the Windows box.
Send me an e-mail that summarizes what happened.
Any holes in this logic?
Thanks.

Importance: Low
Sounds like a job for either samba or rsync though if the windows box has no
rsync set up on it that won't work.

Hi,
I want to make a process that does the following.
* Runs on a Linux box.
* Opens an application. I'm not sure if it needs to be ftp or secure ftp, or
something else.
* Opens up an address to a Windows box.
* Logs on.
* Compares files on the windows box to those on the Linux box to see if any on
the Windows box were updated based on time stamp.
* The folder structures on both boxes would mirror each other except for
starting location.
* Moves only the newer ones up to the Linux box.
* Logs off.
* Closes.
Thanks.
Jim
